The slides for my BoostCon "Proposed Boost B-tree Library"
presentation are available:

http://github.com/boostcon/2011_presentations/raw/master/tue/proposed_b_tree_library.pdf

Please be aware that while the library is progressing nicely, it isn't
ready for production use:

* There are outstanding bugs, particularly with variable length data.

* Names and signatures may still change.

* Documentation is barely started.

* Build is failing on Mac OS X. That probably won't get fixed until
after BoostCon. (Reported by Marshall Clow)

That said, the response to the presentation was very positive and I'm
actively continuing development.

Anyone interested in the library is encouraged to take a look and give it a try.

See http://github.com/Beman/Boost-Btree/blob/master/README for install
instructions.

Feedback welcome!

Thanks,

--Beman
